Facebook Is Not Your Friend At Work

I did harassment training for a client earlier this week and we spent a significant amount of time at the training discussing posts on social media. There were, of course, people who never use social media or strictly limit their Facebook friends to non-work people and then there were others who frequently use a variety of social media sites. The class was very active in the discussion about what was appropriate on social media.

Usually when I have these discussions at training sessions, the class is still stuck on the idea that they should get to say whatever they want on Facebook or Twitter because they did it in their free time after work. This time, the class was unanimous in the idea that co-workers should not be bashing each other on social media. I consider this progress made.
